Chapter 839 Officials and Bandits (1)

This time, the official army suddenly attacked, not only to capture all the Luotian Sect inside and outside the Li family's house, but also to capture all the gang members of the Tiger Hall who were lingering outside, for the eyes and ears, or for the support. Although it is difficult to confirm that they are really traitors of the Luotian Sect, they can almost make a judgment after the next interrogation.

In addition, even the backyard of the Li family was surrounded by the government troops who rushed in. Li Le'er and his daughter were naturally taken and taken into custody. It was not until Li Ling turned behind that they saw them standing there with panic on their faces, and they didn't even react when he arrived.

"Sister, I'm scared you." Seeing this, Li Ling quickly let someone let the two girls go and greet them.

It was not until this time that Li Le'er came to her senses, looked at the officers and soldiers holding swords and guns around her, and then at her younger brother standing in front of her, and said nervously: "Brother Ling, what happened..." The daughter Tangtang behind her couldn't even speak, and she hid timidly behind her mother, and her hand grabbed her mother's clothes, looking like a frightened bird.

Li Ling quickly comforted and said, "Sister, don't worry, but something happened. Now everything has passed, and you are safe. In this way, you can go to the inn to settle down. With my personal guards under my command, safety is not a problem."

Li Le'er didn't understand what his brother was saying in panic, so she subconsciously nodded and agreed. Then she remembered her father again and asked, "Where is Daddy? Where is he? Are you frightened?"

Li Ling was silent for a moment. It was obvious that Li Tong's true identity had always been hidden from his daughter and granddaughter. It can be said that they were confused about everything. However, this was a good thing for him. At least he didn't have to put any airs on his sister and Tangtang. Compared to that cheap father, he regarded them as his relatives.

However, he said quickly: "He is fine, but because of some details, he may have to go to the yamen to ask questions. You will see him in a few days. Okay, it's getting late, let's leave here first." He still has many things to deal with, so naturally it's impossible for him to delay here.

Li Le'er nodded and looked at her younger brother carefully. It was not until this time that she truly felt that her younger brother was very different from before. Not only was she older and more mature, but she also exuded the aura of a superior person that she could not handle in front of him calmly.

At that moment, at the warning of Li Ling, a personal guard came forward to protect the mother and daughter out of the Li family and boarded a carriage that was called in time. Li Ling rode his horse next to him and led the team slowly towards the yamen. In the middle of the entire team, there were also one or two hundred people from the Luotian Sect who were tied up, and Li Tong was naturally among them.

Such a large team was walking on Xiangfan Chang Street again. Although it was already evening, it still attracted the attention of many people. Many people looked at it from afar, and their eyes flashed with uneasiness. In the past decades of Chengping in Xiangfan, almost everyone had never seen officers and soldiers conquering people with such a big fan.

The team came to the front of the government office. The prefect Wang He had already waited there after hearing the news. He saw Li Ling riding a horse from afar. He even took a few steps, bowed and apologized repeatedly: "It was the unclear affairs of the minister, which almost made Lord Li fall into danger. If the master wants to punish him, just speak. The official will not dare to scream..." As he said that, he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Li Ling.

This scene was naturally not special in the eyes of the officials and soldiers around him. Lord Li was an imperial envoy and his official position was higher than that of the prefect. Now he still has the initiative, so he should do so. But in the eyes of the people further away, it was enough to surprise them a lot.

However, the most shocked one was Li Le'er and his daughter in the carriage. Through the gaps in the curtains, they saw the officials and men in the government offices looking trembling in front of Li Ling. The prefect who was so arrogant and could only look up to him was so humble in front of his younger brother (uncle). How old is he?

Although Li Le'er had no doubts about Li Ling's appointment as an official in the court, he did not think he was really old. After all, in just a few years, his younger brother was still an ordinary scholar. Why is his current official bigger than the prefect? ​​What has he experienced?

"Mom, is uncle really amazing?" Tangtang couldn't help but ask in a low voice after being shocked.

"I don't know either, but I believe that your uncle must have lived a hard life over the years, and we must not cause more trouble for him in the future." Li Le'er also whispered, looking at Li Ling with heartache.

Tangtang nodded vigorously and agreed: "Well, I understand... I will definitely be good and not cause any trouble for my mother and uncle."

While speaking, Li Ling turned to their carriage again and said that he had some important matters to deal with, so he asked someone to take their mother and daughter to the inn to have a break. He had already thought about some reasons to convince them, but the two women cooperated surprisingly at this time, and nodded and agreed without asking.

Li Ling was happy in his heart, so he asked the injured Yang brothers to take people to protect the carriage to the office, and then he went straight to the government office. He won the battle today and captured Elder Luo Tian Sect Feng. Then he should make a fuss while the iron is hot. While the thieves are still unable to react, he will dig out more Luo Tian Sect hiding here.

When he entered the main hall of the yamen, he didn't even bother to be polite, so he quickly sat at the top of his head, quickly swept his eyes over his subordinates, and said, "Can the gates in this city be locked?"

"If you want to go back to the Lord, after receiving the order half an hour ago, Bei Zhi ordered people to block the doors and not leave anyone." Xiangyang inspector Zhang Xiang immediately stood up and replied, "In addition, we have sent additional troops to wait at the floating bridge connecting Fancheng, and those entering and leaving will be strictly investigated. However, there seems to be no response from Fancheng, and the city gate should not be completely blocked."

This is reasonable. After all, it has only been only a short time since the work was launched. Xiangfan City is connected by two cities. The distance between the two cities is too great, so it is naturally impossible to do everything in the first place.

Li Ling did not express his dissatisfaction and nodded: "Then hurry up, I want to make sure that no one can leave my Xiangfan before the first update!"

"As for your order!" Zhang Xiang hurriedly agreed with his fists, looked at Li Ling, and saw him nodding, and hurriedly left.

Li Ling then looked at Wang He: "Prince Wang, how are the movement of troops and horses in the battalions outside the city going?"

"Sir, the troops will be in place tomorrow."

"It's great, but before that, the city's defenses have to be strengthened. After today's change, it's hard to guarantee that those traitors will not be anxious to jump over the wall. Especially in warehouses, such as granaries and arsenals, more personnel must be sent to increase nearby patrol troops, and there must be no slack."

"The official understands that I have just asked the government office and the defenders in the city to watch everywhere, so there will definitely be no mistakes."

Li Ling nodded at him with satisfaction. The Xiangfan prefect was quite reliable and had some ability, so he could save himself a lot of worries. After pausing for a moment, he said with a solemn expression: "There is another point, immediately send troops to control Wang Zheng and his family, and no one should be let go, including his slaves!"

This sudden order surprised Wang He and the other officials present, because Wang Zhenghe's status in Xiangfan is not low. Although he is not as powerful as the local power of Fan and Cai's family, he also has a wealth of property and many shops under his name. He can be regarded as a local celebrity.

"Sir, why is this?" After hesitating for a while, Wang He still plucked up the courage to ask more questions.

Li Ling said with a serious expression: "Because the leader of the Luotian Sect traitor was hiding in the city as a teacher of his family's clanology. Do you think there is no problem with the Wang family?"

These words changed everyone's faces, and Wang He shuddered even more. If Wang Jiazhen colluded with Luo Tian Sect, the problem would be serious. He has always had many contacts with him, so don't burn the fire on himself.

In a panic, he could no longer hold back and immediately stood up and said, "Sir, please take someone to get someone in person, so that you will definitely not let any suspicious person miss the net!" This is the most effective way for him to express his position and attitude.

Li Ling naturally saw what he meant, and nodded and said, "Yes. Zhang Jing——"

"I am in a position." The leader of the personal guard quickly stepped forward and listened to Li Ling's orders: "You go with the prefect Wang, assist him well, and take down everyone. Also, check it out for me. As long as you have been closely related to Li Tong and the Wang family during this period, you will be taken down." He did not dare to relax at all because of the great conspiracy of Luo Tian Sect.

"As for the order!" Zhang Jing immediately bowed his hand and looked at Wang He again. The latter's heart sank, knowing that Li Ling was deliberately sending some people away to follow him in order to beware of the fact that he would let some people go. However, he did not feel much dissatisfied, and just agreed and went out quickly with Zhang Jing.

Afterwards, Li Ling issued a series of orders, including searching for the places where the traitors might be hiding based on the existing information, and continuing to send additional personnel to stabilize the order in the city. Under his arrangement, all of this was handled in an orderly manner. Whether it was the government office or the troops under his command, they all acted according to his wishes.

This early July night is probably not so peaceful.

After giving everything, Li Ling did not leave the government office and went to the inn to see his sister. Instead, after using some food to fill his stomach, he moved to the prison inside the government office under the escort of Li Moyun to meet his father.
